Tracheotomy / Ventilation Caregivers in Maui County - 5 caregivers found

my name is Sage, I started being interested in the nursing field ever since I was 15, ive witness multiple family members having illnesses cancer and even death. I always wanted to help people and heal them as much as I can.. I started the CNA program senior year of high school and graduated the same month as high school graduation and I had a job set up for me right away. I dont know the exact field i want to stay in but for now i really enjoy homecare.

I began working as a caregiver st the age of 17. Actually much younger as I often would take care of my mom as she was bipolar and needed a lot of assistance. Caregiving and helping people as always come very natural to me and provides me with a lot of joy. Being able to help with people is always been a priority to me. I have worked in a variety of environments which I believe makes me versatile. I bring positivity into the lives of the clients I work with. I am patient, openminded, compassionate, reliable, a great listener, organized and flexible.

My whole life I have always cared for some one. My first real caregiving job was at 16 and I loved it. It is a true blessing to help those that need a little extra care in life due to a illness, accident, or just the aging process. I enjoy cooking, art, gardening, and reading when I have time. I'm from Oahu and moved to Maui 1990. Then got some mainland experience before coming back home to Maui.

I think as a caregiver you have to have empathy and compassion for the client... I feel I have the expertise as well as the experience that makes me a good caregiver. I am a single parent who raised 4 children by myself and am proud of how they all turned out. Each of them are grown adults now who are sensitive and companionate individuals. My oldest is a pastor of his own church!

I am a friendly, energetic, person that loves working with people especially in the medical/caregiving field. I am very empathetic, and have a huge amount of patience, which I think are so key in dealing with the sick, the elderly and the young. I have been interested and involved in the medical/caregiver field all my life even taking care of my Alzheimer grandfather when I was just 10. ( I was the only one in the family with the patience and aptitude!) I think this is ultimately what drew me to the field is my love and compassion for the hurt, the young, and the elderly. I truly love being a caregiver, medical personnel and it shows in the care I give my patients. I have a high standard for myself and strive to treat my patients as well as I would my family, in fact I have considered many of my patients as my family and have kept in contact with them after care, or with family members after the patient passes. I have taken care of some very extreme patients ie; quads in wheelchairs and on ventilators, I am comfortable with all levels of care for my patients from the low level needs, to high intensive needs and have a vast knowledge to work with all of these types of patients.
